The conference on the health system, within the framework of the National Council for Refoundation (CNR), "
will be launched before the end of the month
" of September, said Friday the Minister of Health, François Braun.
“
This five-year term will be that of a vast reform of our health and prevention policy
,” said François Braun at the end of the 43rd congress of the Mutualité française, in Marseille.
But its content has yet to be clarified, as part of the "
stakeholder conference

The Head of State has already assured that “
the challenge of access to care
” would be “
at the heart of the issue
”, judging “
not acceptable
” the difficulties of many French people in finding a doctor.
"Consultation should not be an obstacle to solutions"
The Minister of Health in turn pledged that "
the intensification of the fight against medical deserts is among the priorities and (be) a clear objective
" of future discussions with caregivers, but also patients. and local elected officials.
However, the executive does not intend to let dialogue hinder its action: "
Consultation must not be an obstacle to solutions when they are urgently needed
", he warned, in particular on the subject of "
care unscheduled
”.
A warning which is particularly aimed at doctors, as he made it clear a little earlier during a visit to the emergency room of the Timone hospital.
"
It is unacceptable that we cannot have access to a general practitioner in the evening, at least until midnight, and on weekends
", underlined François Braun.
Denouncing the “
mercenarism
” of certain practitioners, he felt that it “
should act
” on those who work as temporary workers or replacements.
“
We are not going to force people to settle, but let's say that we are going to encourage them in a strong way
”, he added.
Those who leave to work in "
immediate care centers
" - without an appointment - "
so as not to work nights and weekends
" are also targeted: "
They will have to take part in on-call duty, in town or in emergencies
,” warned the Minister.
